Happiness interventions
I found a website called Happier Human. It's about how to become and stay happier. I've trawled through it. Here are the best posts in my opinion:
[Meditate]. Don't [worry/overthink/fantasise/compare]. [Disregard desire]. [Motivate]. [Exercise gratitude]. [Don’t have kids].
[Buy many small gifts]. [Trade some happiness for productivity]. [Set] [happiness goals]
If you've found any other happiness interventions on any website, please share them.
Rationality Dojo
Last night, here in Portland (OR), some friends and I got together to try to start Rationality Dojo. We talked about it for a while and came up with exactly 4 exercises that we could readily practice:
- Play Paranoid Debating
- Play the AI-Box experiment
- Read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
- Write fanfiction in the style of #3
We also had a whole bunch of semi-formed ideas about selecting a target (happiness, health) and optimizing it a month at a time. Starting a dojo, in a time before organized martial arts, was surely incredibly difficult. I hope we can accrete exercises rather than require a single sensei to invent the majority of the discipline. So I've added a category to the wiki, and I'm asking here. Do you have ideas or refinements for exercises to fit within rationality dojo?
